It’s The Economy, You Moron

CNN did an interview with the current governor of Michigan, Jennifer Granholm regarding her states decesion to move up their primary contrary to the Democratic Party rules.  The Democratic Party punished them by taking away all their delegates to the Democratic National Convention.  Well, she almost started crying on CNN and talking about how her states economy is in such dire straights right now and they need an early primary to make the nation aware of their woes.   Ok, I have to sound off here.  First of all, Michigans economy has been tied to the auto industry for decades now.  That has not changed in some time and will not change in some time.  I would think that it would be prudent of the state government to entice other industries to Michigan so as to better weather downturns in the auto industry.  Or, those people can quit whining and move somewhere else.  Utah still has a red hot economy and im sure Governor Huntsman would love a larger tax base.  I took the initiative to move elsewhere when I was living in Kansas and had no real opportunity.  I moved to Utah with a car that barely ran, no job and only 900 bucks.  Seriously people, quit whining and take some initiative. 

 Now on to Mike Huckabee who I just cannot stand more and more every day.  CNN was asking candidates about how they would help people who are suffering financial hardship.  Mike Huckabee said that one of the first things he would do is to lower gas prices straight away.  Ok, fine but later in that interview he went on to say that we need to lower our dependance on foreign oil.  Mr. Huckabee, if you lower gas prices, people are just going to buy MORE GAS FROM SAUDI ARABIA!!!!!!!  If anything, we should raise gas prices so people stop driving so freaking much!
